Do not fail yourself

Autumn moodboard// Dark Autumn

Looking back at FFXV, and then Noctis and Lunafreya in particular. How desperately Noctis tried throughout his journey to be reunited once again with Lunafreya (not to mention Luna herself in the events of Kingsglaive and the disappointment upon her face when Regis told her Noctis wasn’t around). How he was reaching out to her but never could…. reach her:

He was denied her touch several times, by the cruelty of fate.

But this also occurred to me, watching the ending again. Here I see (I interpret them being in the afterlife) finally being reunited. But looking at the mere actions of Noctis, before he touches her:

Taking off both his gloves, before stroking her face. He wants to finally feel her, know that she is really there, beside him after so many years of longing and reaching, he can finally reach out to her, and be with her for eternity:

“I know that you are throwing your life away.”
